Registering and collecting tax in Saskatchewan
GST is administered by the CRA. PST is administered by the Saskatchewan Ministry of Finance, with its own registration. Most businesses must register for GST/HST once their worldwide taxable sales pass $30,000 over four consecutive calendar quarters. For GST/HST, sellers based elsewhere in Canada charge the rate of the province the goods are delivered to, so a sale shipped to Saskatchewan carries Saskatchewan's GST/HST rate. PST has its own rules on when out-of-province sellers must register.
